On an hp keyboard, what is the light in the top right hand corner next to 1 and A, there is an arrow pointing down towards a straight line? How do I switch if off?

It is more likely that the window got moved to a point where the x, restore, and minimize buttons don't show than it is that a portion of the whole desktop is cut off. Right-click on the icon that represents this window in the task bar, and click maximize. If that's not an option, choose move, and then use the down and or left arrow keys to reposition the window where you can see the minimize, restore, and x buttons, and then hit enter on the keyboard.

Rick I would like you to download the Service Manual from HP Support (Free),

At the top where it states - Quick jump to manuals category - click on the blue heading underneath -
Service and maintenance information

Go down to the 8th (Blue) file listed, and click on it -

HP Mini 2102, HP Mini 210, and Compaq Mini 210 - Maintenance and Service Guide.
(It's the newest one. 10 Jun 2010/ 3.53MB )

This is a PDF file. The computer you are using now has Adobe Reader on it, which uses PDF files.
After you click on the file it may take up to 30 seconds before the first page comes up.
It may also take additional time for the file to fully download.

If you are aware of the following disregard;

At the top of the PDF file is the PDF page number box. It is to the Right of the Down Arrow.
The page you want is Page 52.

You can use the Down Arrow and arrive at Page 52, or:

1) Put your mouse cursor in the page number box. Left-click once. What is in the page number box will be highlighted in blue.

2) Type 52

3) Press the Enter key.

You can also use the Bookmarks menu on the left.
1) Left-click on the + sign next to - Removal and replacement procedures
2) Then left-click on the + sign next to - Component replacement procedures
3) Scroll it down, and left-click right on Keyboard

From the Service Manual, and me:

A) Remove ALL power to the mini laptop. Remove the AC adapter (Charger) and Battery

B) Use a multi-compartment container for the various screws you will remove.
Label each compartment for the area the screw/s come out of.

If no multi-compartment container is available, you can substitute with a clean egg carton.
Label each egg holder.

SOME screws look VERY similar to other screws. Advise DO NOT mix them up!

C) I suggest laying a towel on a table. Lay the laptop on it. Prevents scratching the table, and the laptop.
Laptop closed, turn the laptop over, lay it on the towel, bottom side up, Battery Compartment facing you.

D) Remove 3 Philips head screws.
One at each top corner, one in the middle (Page 54)

E) Hold the laptop closed, turn it over so the Front is facing you.
Lay it down on the towel. Open the laptop as far as it will go.

F) Lift the back edge of the Keyboard. The back edge is the edge near the LCD screen.

Caution! Use care!
There are tabs in the Front of the Keyboard. These tabs are plastic. They insert down into the Palm Rest Cover. (Top Cover)

If you lift the Keyboard straight up at a 90 degree angle, you risk breaking these tabs off, and also may damage the Palm Rest Cover (Top Cover)

Also there is a Keyboard Cable attached to the Keyboard, and to the motherboard.


G) The Keyboard Cable does NOT remove from the Keyboard. It removes from the motherboard.

The Keyboard Cable is a FFC.
Flat Flex Cable.
It Does Not have a connector on the end.

The FFC is a flat plastic sheath with wires in it laid side, by side.
At the end of these wires are contacts. Usually gold plated.
This end is inserted into the connector on the motherboard.

NOTE the direction the FFC is inserted into the connector on the motherboard. It MUST be reinstalled in the same direction.
Those contacts on the Flat Flex Cable, MATCH up to contacts in the connector on the motherboard

Even if the cable is twisted over when it was installed, the new Keyboard's Cable must be twisted in the same fashion.

H) The connector on the motherboard for the Keyboard Cable, is a ZIF connector.
Zero Insertion Force.

It is a small rectangular connector that slides apart, but DOES NOT come completely apart!
The top part of the connector slides FORWARD.
Forward towards the LCD screen.

It only slides so far. Approximately 1/8th of an inch.
If the top part is completely removed from the bottom part, the connector is damaged. Motherboard replacement may be the only option!

The bottom part is fixed to the motherboard. (Soldered directly to the motherboard)

Looking Closely at the ZIF connector, you will see a parting line between the two 'halves'.
Ease the top part forward with your fingernails, on the top left, and right corners.

When reinstalling make sure the cable is lined up right, then insert the gold plated contact pins in the ZIF connector, as far in as it will allow you.
Then slide the top part of the ZIF connector back towards you, to lock the FFC in place.

There may be a button towards the top of the keyboard (one of the ones with LEDs next to them) that turns the touch pad on and off. Otherwise, there is usually a keyboard combination (the Fn key in the lower left + one of the F1-12 keys) that can toggle it on and off as well. Otherwise, in the lower right hand corner, if you plug in a mouse, you should be able to right click the touchpad icon and re-enable it.

Compaq Presario CQ56 Notebook PC and HP G56 Notebook PC - Maintenance and Service Guide

This is a PDF file.
It may take up to 30 seconds before the first page comes up.
It may also take additional time for the file to fully download.

At the top of the PDF file is the page number box.
It is to the right of the down arrow.
This is the page number I will be referring to, and not the manual's actual page.

Go to Page 46.

(In the Bookmarks menu on the left, click,
1) On the + sign to the left of Removal and replacement procedures
2) On the + sign to the left of Component replacement procedures
3) Keyboard )


A) Remove ALL power to the laptop.
Remove the AC adapter (Charger) and Battery.

B) Remove the Memory Compartment Cover.

C) Computer upside down (Bottom facing up), front side toward you,
remove the 6 Philips head screws indicated.

D) Computer back to it's normal position, (Right side up) use a thin, flat bladed screwdriver, and EASE up on the Right and Left BACK edges of the Keyboard.

NOTE*
There are plastic tabs on the Keyboard in the front. (Towards you) These can be broken off if you use the thin, flat tipped screwdriver TOO close to the Front.

The BACK of the Keyboard is lifted up to a 45 degree angle, then the Keyboard is slid back towards the LCD screen, a little. This frees the tabs from the Palm Rest (Top Cover) of the laptop.

NOTE*
The Keyboard is attached TO the motherboard by the Keyboard Cable.
The Keyboard Cable does not come off of the Keyboard.

After the tabs are freed, the Keyboard is rolled over, and laid on it's keys, on the Palm Rest.
This allows both hands (Fingers) to remove the Keyboard Cable from the connector on the motherboard.

The connector on the motherboard is a ZIF connector.
Zero Insertion Force.

The connector is a rectangular block of plastic, and is composed of two pieces.
The top smaller part moves away from the larger bottom part.

The two pieces DO NOT come completely apart. They do not completely separate from each other.

The top part slides away from the bottom part, but only so far. (1/8th inch?)

The cable coming from the Keyboard is a FFC.
Flat Flex Cable.

It has NO connector on the end that plugs into the motherboard.
Just a flat ribbon cable with exposed contacts.

MAKE SURE you line the new Keyboard's cable up the SAME WAY as the old Keyboard's cable.
Install in the same direction.
(Even if the cable is twisted over)

The ZIF connector's top part locks the FFC in place, when the ZIF connector is closed.
The top part has a wedge design.

Here is a video tutorial on how to replace a hp probook keyboard (But this is for 4710 model, i think you can get some ideas from here)
And finally if this all doesnt help you here is a site containg instructions on how to replace your keyboard .
http://www.sparepartswarehouse.com/blog/post/how-to-replace-the-keyboard-on-the-hp-probook-4510.aspx
hope I helped you, please rate my solution thanks.

On the both sides where is your manual feed you will find dent for finger. Pull it towards you and down and doors are open. Now you will see drum unit with toner. Take the center of drum unit and pull it towards you.
Drum unit is in your hand.
On opposite side, on right corner you will see cleaner slider with arrow on it. Take it with your fingers and push it in left/right direction few times (warning : upon finishing is mandatory to leave slider on right side, so arrow on the slider will point to arrow on the drum).

Hope it helps

That's the Scroll Lock indicator.

While not really used for anything today, Scroll Lock used to serve a purpose in DOS text editors - if it was on, and you'd press the Down arrow on your keyboard, the document would scroll down. If it was off, you would move your cursor to the line below it.

It should also work on Microsoft Excel - try it. Open up Excel, make sure Scroll Lock is on, and press the Down or Up arrows. Now turn it off, and see what happens.

If you don't know how to turn it off, search for a key marked "Scroll Lock" or any short versions of that name. If it's in a different color, you may need to press Fun+ScrollLock for the light to go off.

That is the scroll lock light. To turn it off, look on your keyboard for a button that says scroll and press it and the light should go off. Hope this helps.

There are only two options for adjusting the brightness of pictures in this camera, exposure and flash setting.

1. Flash Options: The flash is off by default. To turn it on you must press the button with the crooked down-arrow label between the DISP and MENU buttons, and the flash status will display in the top right-hand corner of the display screen. OFF displays the crooked down-arrow and a circle with a line through it. Press the button once for AUTO, displays the crooked down arrow with an "A" next to it. Press the button once more to force the flash, displays the crooked arrow only in the top right-hand display. Regardless of mode, the display will blink rapidly while the flash is charging and remain solid when it is charged and ready for use. Keep pressing the crooked down-arrow button to scroll continuously through the three OFF/AUTO/ON options.

2. Exposure setting: Press MENU, then the left arrow on the top right-hand four-way button on the camera until the COLOR menu is selected. Scroll down to EXPOSURE and press the MENU button again. You will see EV on the display. Use the up and down arrows to increase or decrease the exposure setting. 0.0 is default, you can go up to +1.5 or down to -1.5. Press MENU to exit when you're done. +1.5 would be the maximum brightness setting.

Same just happened to me, performthe following:

The analogue hands are not precisely synchronised with
the digital time?

1. Press the lower right button to move the mode indicator

of the digital display. Press the upper right button to advance

6. Push the lower right button back in one click.
The watch malfunctions in some way and the above
procedures do not work.
1. Press the lower right button until the mode indicator hand
points to TME.
2. Pull the lower right button out one click. Press the other
